Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is an emerging reinforcement in concrete materials
and possesses many attractive mechanical and physical characteristics. Amongst other …

In recent years, strengthening through using fibre reinforcing polymer (FRP), has been
widely used in buildings, especially slab-column connections. This is due to several …

This paper presents different effective strengthening techniques to enhance the flexural
strength of one-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. To assess the effectiveness of utilizing …

Within the scope of this study, three different strengthening methods have been proposed to
increase the punching strength of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs. These methods are a …

Flat slabs are widely used due to their advantages. However, punching collapse is a
situation that should not be ignored during the design as a risk in this type of slab. The …

This paper aims to investigate the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened
reinforced concrete (RC) beams containing large rectangular web openings in the flexure …

Flat slabs have been widely used to allow the larger interior areas to be created in
architectural plans, reduce the height of the building by allowing more story heights, and …

Nonlinear finite element analysis of a one-way reinforced concrete slab with openings was
performed in this study. Experimental studies of the authors were used to validate the finite …

Slab openings occur quite often in practice to provide a convenient path for utility ducts.
However, introducing an opening into a reinforced concrete flat slab causes local cracking in …

This paper presents results from experiments on aged and seriously damaged reinforced
concrete (RC) beams strengthened with different arrangements of external carbon fiber …
